This paper assesses clean development mechanism (CDM) potential of large-scale energy efficiency measures in selected heavy industries (iron and steel, cement, aluminium, pulp and paper, and ammonia) taking India and Brazil as examples of CDM project host countries. We have chosen two criteria...

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) under the Kyoto Protocol to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) enables industrialized countries to meet a part of their emission reduction requirements through purchase of emission reduction credits from projects in developing countries....

We quantify the theoretical potential for energy-efficiency CDM projects using best available technology in coal, natural gas or oil fuelled power generation in China, India, Brazil, Indonesia and South Africa, looking at new power plants or retrofit measures. We then discuss the likelihood of...

Der Pkw-Verkehr trägt durch seine CO2-Emissionen in der Höhe von ca. 102 Mio.t/Jahr (Stand: 1997) zum Treibhauseffekt bei und ist damit der größte Verursacher externer Klimakosten im Verkehrssektor. Die externen Klimakosten des Pkw-Verkehrs ergeben sich aus der übermäßigen Nutzung des...
